Watch Hill

An easier day and an easier Marilyn, Watch Hill is near Cockermouth, and from the lack of footpaths or indeed anything to mark the summit, it is little visited. A bridleway took us up to the ridge, and an excellent view over Cockermouth. The wind was terrific, fortunately mainly on our back, as we progressed along the broad grassy ridge, visiting several little bumps to make sure we'd done it! We dropped down through the woodland to reach a forest road, which after a spot of lunch in the sun, we followed back to the car.
